Is it said that River Mumma lives in the cool depths of water. She sometimes comes up to sit on a rock and comb her long black hair. If you see her, do not look at her. If you catch her eye, she may draw you down with her, where she may live but you may not. If she catches hold of you, all manner of terrible things will happen. No one knows exactly what, because no one she’s got hold of has ever come back to tell the tale. Traditional Jamaican
